I bumped into greatness at The Forester Hotel recently

10.0

My second experience at The Forester Hotel reminded me why I returned. The staff are attentive, the food is delicious, the property is pristine and the location is spectacular if you intend to spend time time on business or pleasure in the Lake Forest area. My wife and I enjoyed a great nature preserve walk at Middlefork Savanna, easy access to restaurants, shopping, freeways and the beautiful quaint downtown of Lake Forest and adjacent Lake Bluff. I wanted to write to commend the people and the place of The Forester Hotel. They have earned my loyalty and one person deserves special mention: Marisa Gonzalez. Marisa is a "Guest Services Representative" who will undoubtedly be running the entire operation before too long (and likely owning one or more hotels in her career based on the kind, caring, competent, conscientious and unassuming ways in which she so graciously served me in my time(s) of need. I was a bit flustered in preparing to officiate at the funeral of my good friend and in a time crunch, nothing seemed to be going quite as I had anticipated. Yet Marisa calmly and most graciously took the time necessary to make sure that I had everything I needed and never made me feel like I was a bother even after the third and fourth request for assistance. Rather she acted as if it was her shear delight to be able to assist me. It is rare to find an elite professional no matter the field, but in Marissa Gonzalez, The Forrester Hotel has got a young superstar on their hands. I am forever grateful that for an early Saturday morning in June of 2026 that I was able to rub shoulders with a great one. Garth Warren Plymouth, MN

Modern Boutique Hotel

10.0

This is a very nice area and place to stay, centrally located and easily accessible to many things. The staff were friendly, accommodating and provided excellent service. Our room was bright, modern, clean, and cozy. We had a super comfortable king size bed, large fluffy bath towels and the absolute best bath robe anyone could ever wish for. Oaken, the hotel restaurant was off the charts great with the delicious and creative culinary delights they offered. Some of our favorites included the lasagna, salmon, herbed goat cheese & honey, smash burger, signature cocktails, raspberry nectar tea, and oat milk cappuccino. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Highly recommend!

Clean, Comfortable, and Accommodating

I had a great stay at The Forester Hotel. The hotel was very clean, comfortable, and the staff were incredibly accommodating with my special requests. Their attention to detail made this one of the best hotel experiences I've had. I would definitely stay here again.

Not worth the rate

4.0

This is a hotel. It offers a clean room. Nothing else. And therefore, for the cost, it is not worth it. It is most irritating that they do not offer complimentary coffee/tea for late arrival or early departure.
